Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
Happy Halloween! Welcome to my Halloween Romance Recommendations which isn’t a horror recommendation post! I think I’ve been saying this over and over again. But I can’t really read or watch horror. That said when Halloween comes, I always try to read romance books that have a scary or creepy feel to them.
If you’re interested, you can read my favorite non-scary Halloween movies post and non-horror reads to read for Halloween.
